Screech Owl

[JW Mills]

Not the best pic but I thought I'd post it anyway as it is my first owl.
If you look closely you'll see that his eyes are closed.
Lambton Park, March 26.

Congrats on your first owl! The first of many I hope.

Wow, another one!!!  Screech-owls are my favs.  Not always the easiest to find because of their size and colour.  Good sighting and cute pic!

That's a gr8 find John!

Last year I got a long eared owl in The Col Sam Smith park. Somebody told me that it is resident there. May be you could get your second one. I also heard of a snowy frequenting the docks there this winter. May have left already - did not get the chance myself.
